When I encountered the work "Zofia Stryjenska" from Paulina Olowska, I thought about creating paintings of different rooms in a home: kitchen, living-room,… and to hang those paintings in the middle of these rooms.

Being an artist is a process that takes 100% of our time and energy: we make, think and dream about art. Now that we are confined, why not using our homes as galleries to reflect its immersive nature?

Indeed, the context where it is done has an impact on it: invading me in my bed, taking a shower or in my kitchen.

It also reflects on nature itself as we are partly cut from it: our relation to it, of art and nature and of our own nature.

Everyday objects, nature or a self-portrait are subjects of a testimony of now.
